Gazing out my kitchen window,
washing dishes watching the dogwood blooms open.
Spring must be the time for cleaning
because the rain forces me to remain inside,
while inside I'm longing to cultivate my garden.

HORNGREEN -- You won't get a 'chat' here, but Howard Stern is always looking for new 'crap'.

There is a cult following for Retro. You have to admit that the new games rely on the same recycled plot with the a little better graphics -- enough first person shooters already -- give me another MARIO anyday.

Besides there there is good money in Retro http://atariace.com

I agree that this is not news, however it is fun to see the new things people are doing with retro items. How can RETRO be NEW anyways? How about this http://etsy.com/view_item.php?listing_id=40610

I'd call it old school when games from a system sell for more used than when they were purchased originally. Currently that puts everything from Odyssey to Super Nintendo in the old school category.

Does anyone have any news about their Casino Slot Machines? If they can leverage their brands this could become a huge revenue builder for all of the Retro Titles.

There may not have been a CRASH, but in 1984 there was definitely a revolution. The advent of the Video Rental Store changed the way the home user interacted with consoles, this coinciding with the release of the NES brought video gaming to such a new high that it seemed like we must have experienced a crash in the early 80s.

E.T. is selling like gold since the video was uncovered. :) Shameless promotion: visit my website if you need a copy.

Wait until you find out that you can no longer purchase a 'real' pool table. They are all now holographic virtual billard environments. -Craig
